To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The River That Changed Course — Amenhotep has farmed the same Nile field for thirty-one years, and his father farmed it for forty years before him, and in the third week of the 240 BC inundation, the river moved a hundred yards east and the channel that fed his field for three generations drew from a shallow that will not sustain a crop. His neighbor Kha's field lost the bank. Both men have a claim, and only one field is worth farming.
